Basketball fans were outraged Wednesday at ex-referee Tim Donaghy's claims of game-fixing - even as NBA Commissioner David Stern tried to strike back.
Many hoops-watchers said they believe Donaghy's bombshell charges that NBA honchos ordered refs to favor superstars and extend a playoff series to lucrative do-or-die games.
"It's getting like pro wrestling," said Anthony Jimenez, 23, of Brooklyn. "It's a major scandal that the NBA might not be able to recover from."
More than 91% of Daily News readers who responded to an online poll said they believed Donaghy's claims about game fixing.
